      About Switi Mini

      Switi Mini is a free daily Surinaamse kruiswoord built entirely from Surinamese words. Every answer is a word from Sranan Tongo or Surinaams-Nederlands, attested in the dictionaries, so each puzzle is a small, playful way to learn the language of Suriname.

      The grid changes shape and size from day to day. Most days bring a quick 5×5, and every few days it steps up to a 7×7 or 9×9. Once in the rotation there is a full 11×11 with more than forty answers. Today’s size is shown next to the date above the grid.

      A new puzzle goes live every day. Clues come in both Dutch and English (tap NL or EN to switch), and a tag on each clue tells you whether the answer is Sranan Tongo (SR) or Surinaams-Nederlands (SN). Solve the grid and Switi Mini reveals what every word means, so you finish a few words richer than you started.

      How to play

      1. Tap any square or clue to begin, then type your answer. Tap a cell again to switch between across and down.
      2. Use Check to test your letters, or Reveal word when you are stuck.
